Check out our breakdown of team two.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2539770' first='Dau' last='Hong'] <em>Gresham</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good movement without the ball to follow drives, get to space, and make himself available. Didn't get a ton of opportunities with the rock but was engaged, ready to go, and willing to make the right pass to keep the ball flowing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2539805' first='Spencer' last='Dirks'] <em>Grant</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Active defender who showed some good hustle in transition. Aggressive to the ball and did the little things offensively to help keep space and pull defenders away from the hoop to open up some lanes inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2485547' first='Jamarea' last='Sanders'] <em>Roosevelt</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lefty who looked to push at every opportunity and had eyes on the hoop in transition. Really strong driver on the left side and had some nicely timed pickups through reaches, as well as shielding the ball through splits to the hoop. Was very effective getting to the hoop with quick, strong moves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2539795' first='Makoy' last='Amano'] <em>Mountainside</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quick little guard who penetrates looking to draw defenders in and make key pass out. Did a really good job getting by the initial defender and into the paint then finding the right kick out. Got the defense shifting and the ball flowing, also showed some nice shooting from three mainly off spot ups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2539806' first='Sufyan' last='Carter'] <em>Benson</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Got the best of his man 1v1 for much of the day and was pretty slick getting to the hoop with different finishes. Showed he can pull up short and finish over the top with runners and floaters as well as pull the ball back out when the defense walled up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2534757' first='Cameron' last='Harris'] <em>Roosevelt</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lefty guard who showed some good potential with the rock, putting together some solid combo dribbles to get his man off-balance and create some space to get downhill. Also drained some threes and showed some good touch with tough in-between shots in close. Did a good job getting the ball up high over taller guys around the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2539783' first='Jonah' last='Mason'] <em>Wilsonville</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Didn't get a ton of opportunities offensively but did show a good-looking stroke from midrange and out to three. He gave good effort defensively, bodying up drivers, staying solid on backdowns, and forcing guys to take tough shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2427524' first='Leo' last='Onishchenko'] <em>Central Catholic</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long kid who had good activity on the boards on both ends. He has a good foundation of skills and should be a kid who sees his game take off once he gets a little stronger. Showed off a pretty good looking stroke from different areas and did a good job using pivots under pressure. Used his length and footwork well to find angles inside and finish around guys in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2539804' first='Ryder' last='Owens'] <em>Century</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quick player who showed some good playmaking ability. Was able to sneak in between defenders with some shifty moves and then set up teammates with good passes. Showed some good instincts and was an aggressive player with the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
